      r * !* J ' f , ' \ CUB . ES FOE THE UNCUEED ! HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT . — An extraordinary Curb of Scrofula , or King ' s Evil . Extractof a Letter from Mr . J . H . Alliimy , 209 , High-street , Cheltenham , dated the 22 nd of January , 1850 . To Profeaaor Holdovtat . " Sir , —My eldest son , when about three yearB of age . was afflicted with a Glandular Swelling- in the neck , which , after a short time , broke out into an Ulcer . An eminent medical man pronounced it as a very bad case of Scrofula , and prescribed for a considerable time -without effect . The disease then for four years went on gradually increasing in virulence , when , besides the ulcer in the neck , another formed below the left knee , and a third under the eye , besides seven others on the left arm , with a tumour between the eyes , which was expected to break . During- the whole of the time mv suffering boy had received the constant advice of the most celebrated medical Gentlemen at Cheltenham , besides being for several months at the General Hospital , where one of the Surgeons said that he would amputate the left arm , but that the blood was so impure that , if that limb were taken off , it would be then even impossible to subdue the disease . In this desperate state I determined to give your Pills and Ointment a trial , and , after two months * perseverance in their use , the tumour gradually began to disappear , and th « iischarge from all the ulcers perceptibly decreased , and at the expiration of eight months they were perfectly healed ^ and the boy thoroughly restored to the blessings of health , to the astonishment of a large circle of acquaintance :, who could testify to the truth of this miraculous case . Three years have . now elapsed without any recurrence to the malady , and the boy is now as healthy as heart can Wish . Under these circumstances 1 consider that 1 should be truly ungrateful were I not to make you acquainted with this wonderful cure , effected by your medicines , after every other means had failed .
